A Faithful Heir to the Classic MS-20
The Korg MS-20 mini resurrects the studio icon by replicating the original analog circuits, down to the packaging and manual details. Designed under the supervision of the engineers from the historic model, it delivers the vintage grain and responsive feel that made the MS-20 famous while integrating seamlessly into modern setups thanks to MIDI and USB.
Who Is It For and What Is It For?
Ideal for curious beginners as well as experienced musicians, this synthesizer suits electro, techno, synthwave, ambient, pop, and soundtrack music styles. In the studio, it proves formidable for sound design and acid basses; on stage, its patch matrix invites experimentation and expressive performances. The lack of preset memory encourages learning synthesis and instant creation.

This little thing comes from space.
Being a fan of drum'n'bass and polished bass lines with powerful sound designs, I must say that this miracle box did not disappoint me. I've used renowned VSTs for a long time like Reason's Thor or Serum on Ableton, but this thing has nothing to do with all that, we're leagues above VSTs that, despite their reputations, will never be worth the sound of an analog synthesizer. The handling is extremely fast as long as you know the basics of synthesis (Envelopes, modulation, oscillators, filters, etc.) and the sounds are extremely rich as soon as you start playing with it. If you want to find your first synth, this jewel will be your most faithful friend. If you don't already have one, it's time to get one.
Congratulations to Korg, I never expected to have such a complete and flexible instrument at this price.Automatically translated

Questions frequently asked
Is the Korg MS-20 Mini polyphonic?
Its polyphony is limited to one voice: it is a monophonic synthesizer equipped with 2 VCOs. It is therefore designed for bass lines, leads, and drones played note by note.
Can the MS-20 Mini be connected to a computer via MIDI?
A MIDI input and a USB-MIDI connection allow control from a computer or compatible MIDI device. Integration into a current setup is thus possible without modifying the analog architecture.
What filters are present on this analog synth?
The circuit includes a high-pass filter and a low-pass filter, with musical saturation and self-oscillation. This dual filtering allows for creating incisive or more organic timbres.
Does the MS-20 Mini have a sequencer or an arpeggiator?
No arpeggiator or sequencer is integrated. The 37 light-touch keys and patch matrix favor a playing and modulation approach based on direct interaction.
Can an external audio source be processed with the MS-20 Mini?
The external signal processor (ESP) accepts the processing of audio sources and allows extracting creative modulations. The LFO, Sample & Hold, and supplied patch cables expand routing possibilities.
